I have no idea if I just eat this much from being 18 and young but its ungodly. I'm consuming 4000 cal a day at the least most of the time its not enough, for my hunger. Like I eat a whole pot of pasta four times a day I eat 2 lbs of chicken a day which is 6 chciken breast I eat a whole dozen of egg whites a day lots of fruit and vegtibles with and between meals. Like does anyone else eat this much? Not to mention I have shakes with my meals and I also eat a lot of tunafish either blend it into my shakes or add it into pasta. Try not to eat too much because of the potential hazard. Back to the question anyone else eat this much? And plus I still wake up in the middle of the night starving. But at least this makes it easy to bulk up and gain weight and thank god I'm a cook at a resturaunt where I eat for free or id always be broke lol.

So any advice questions comments or anyone else wanting to say how much they eat post away I'm curious to know.

Thannk for reading and posting yall

HAha! Awesome, bro. I can eat 3500-4000 kcal/day during bulk phases myself, and I'm a natural bodybuilder standing 5'8" 175-185 lbs., so you are definitely not alone. I am in my 30's, so I am blessed. However, it's all organic, clean food that i eat. As far as you go, take advantage of it. When I was in my late teens, I consumed anything that did not eat me, even junk, and I would not put fat on. When I hit early 20's my body responded negatively to junky food. Just eat up until your body disagrees. enjoy it man

Haha well see when I was younger in middle school I was like 5'5" at 200 lbs got made fun of a lot had to switch schools from bullying then one day I snapped and had to get put into anger managment and my anger coach was into bodybuilding and gave me the idea of relieving stress and anger by doing weightlifting and wrestling. Now I still do it and its amazing and my benefit of gaining weight is in my genetics and plus I've always been able to eat a lot of food lol. But I also can gain a lot of fat easily so to keep it off I do a lot of cardio even while bulking. But yea that cool you eat like me too lol so great find others lol. Still going to eat clean lol I give myself like one cheat meal a week haha sometimes I go off on a binge lol.

As long as I keep my carbs under 300g I usually can handle around 4k without gaining weight. I actually losing weight now at that level. (90kgs currently, 198)

Holy Moley. Eating must be like a second job for you haha. Is your maintainece around 6000-6500?

I could push it up too 5000kcals/day and still keep myself lean but i literally cannot down that much food just yet. I usually have 3 big meals 1000kcals approx each (meat, vege, etc.) and like 3 small meals (500kcals each approx, which is when i eat almonds, olive oils, liquid meals etc.).

My maintenance is probably in the 4000-4500kcal range. What's scary is that I down that in 8-9 hours per day. Basically, it's a lot of rice noodles, EVCO, chicken, eggs, and the occasional large pizza.

7000cals is unreal, but perfectly do-able. Olympic rowers eat 8000cals+ and are lean as f***.

Every morning at 730am, 5 pieces of toast, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 3 eggs, however much bacon we have left, glass of high protein milk and a fish oil capsule. Love it. Then after that just whatever I can find that fits in with my macros

As an example, here's what I ate yesterday:
1 C liquid egg whites, 2 scoops protein powder, 1.5 oz of EVOO, 1C blueberries, 1C spinach (blended together) x2 (140g protein, 100g fat, 40g carbs; ~1600kcals)
4 cans of tuna, 2 avocados with sweet potato chips (used 1lb w/ 1oz EVOO and ate the entire batch); split into two feedings (90g protein, 85g fat, 95g carbs; ~1500kcals)
1 large pizza (~2800kcals)
Chocolate almond protein pudding made with 1C egg whites, 2 scoops protein powder, 1.5 oz almond butter, 2 oz coconut milk (75g protein, 50g fat, 10g carbs; ~800kcals)

Not quite 7000kcals (~6700), but that's assuming the facts provided from Papa John's are accurate to what was in the pizza.

7000cals is next to nothing,i could do it everyday as i never get full.Only eating 3700 now and its childs play.Wish i could hammer 7000 a few times without blowing up/worry about getting fat.

Dont get me wrong i know what you's mean though,it can be tuff at times with veggies,ect... but calorie dense foods make it alot easier.

Sweet potato chips were just peeled and sliced sweet potatoes drizzled with EVOO and sea salt and then baked at 350 for 20-25 minutes. The pudding is literally everything I wrote out. I put the egg whites and protein powder in a blender and combined it in a bowl with almond butter that was heated in the microwave to make it easier to mix. The casein is essential otherwise it won't thicken up.

The blender was my greatest investment into my exercise career. Literally anything and everything goes into it. Just made myself a mean shake: 2 Cups milk, 1/2 cup almonds (grounded), 2 tblspn olive oil, 2 scoops protein, 1 cup liquid eggs then some choclate flavouring to kill all the bad flavour mixing going on haha. Actually tastes good at the end.

My cheat meal is always on leg day.

I understand how all the high cal guys feel… i need at least 5000 to bulk, at one point i was at 6700! It was miserable! And it gets expensive at that point… Has your body adapted to that intake Rodja or do you still have to cram it down?

I wouldn't say cram it down, but I do have to feed even when I'm not hungry. Luckily, the shakes aren't too filling and there's enough fiber in the meals to keep everything moving along.

I'm a big guy at 6 foot 6, so I can usually take down as much food as I please when bulking, have yet to feel a true full feeling. I try to stay away from eating too much, or I will bloat like a balloon and have a big ol round face for a bit until after my PCT.

I eat 4,000-7,000 per day. Not a big fan of it, I'm 5'7" but got a hyperactive metabolism. I usually have my cheat meal Friday night and eat a whole pizza, then back to meat and brown rice.
